"Don't be too hard on yourself, Erin! I believe he didn't mean what he said. You can't take the blame for other people's feelings! But truthfully …" Holly stopped herself in time. She suddenly thought of her boyfriend, Simon. She wasn't sure if she should bring it up. "What did you want to say, Holly?" Holly took a deep breath and said truthfully, "Your indecisiveness and excessive kindness will really cause men to have undue expectations of you! "I know you don't want to hurt them. I know you think you should be kinder when it comes to feelings. But have you ever thought that they are not ordinary men?"They all knew that you were married. But they still confessed their love for you. They are all powerful men. Do you think you could drive them away with ordinary means?" Her words discouraged Erin. Erin asked softly, "Are you saying that I shouldn't be friends with them anymore?" "Something like that. In fact, you have a powerful man like Chandler backing you in your lif
Erin knew that Sean's divorce wasn't her fault. But she still felt guilty and stressed when he blamed her. She sighed and pried his hand away. He only stepped back when her nails scratched him."Erin, don't treat me like this. Is it so wrong that I love you? Isn't love a beautiful thing? You're the first woman I've ever loved. Don't crush my hopes so soon." Sean sounded sad and miserable. His tone made it hard for others to reject him.Regardless, Erin had made up her mind. It was better to end things sooner. She did not want to give him any more false hope. "But you don't like married women. I'm fucking married!" Erin burst out. She even cursed. Sean looked confused and pained. He said hoarsely, "Is love so black and white to you? Is it a sin to fall in love with a married woman? Erin, you're a writer and comic artist. I never thought you would define love like this!"Erin controlled her emotions and laughed. "Are you trying to lecture me about love? I won't feel touched
By 10:00 pm, news of Sean and Maya took over Facebook and all other major social media platforms. Maya's face had never been exposed before, but she was now appearing publicly with Sean. People who didn't know the truth started posting pictures of Sean and Maya. Of course, everybody also cursed Erin! The netizens were outraged. They couldn't believe Erin could cheat on a perfect man like Chandler. What a bitch! In their eyes, she had no reason to cheat on him. Meanwhile, at the villa, Erin found out the news from Holly. At the same time, Chandler walked into the bedroom from his study. They both knew what the other was thinking the moment they locked eyes. "Erin, I'm going to get changed now. It seems like I'll have to hold a press conference in the middle of the night to minimize the Frost Group's losses in the stock market!" Chandler went into the dressing room to change his clothes. He now saw Sean in a new light. He could no longer trust his childhood friend.
Sean instantly felt disgusted when she said the word "beauty." Although he didn't show it on his face, he felt a little repulsed by her. He couldn't help but think of Erin. Erin had never shown off her beauty before or after her appearance became ruined. Instead, she was more easygoing but had a bit of a hot temper sometimes.All men liked pretty women, but a confident man did not like women who showed off their beauty. It seemed like Maya liked to show off although she had just started this new chapter of her life. She had exposed her true colors. "Sean, why are you so quiet? What are you thinking about?" Maya asked coyly. Sean looked down at her and said, "The drama's over. Let's go to bed. I'll hold a press conference tomorrow afternoon and announce that I'll make you a global superstar!" Maya felt dazed by this sudden surprise. Although she had never dreamt of being a celebrity, she didn't mind when she thought of Sean's status and those women around him. "Real
Yvette's words did not touch Erin at all. Erin ignored it and put her phone away. Ten minutes later, Yvette sent another text."Erin, let me tell you a secret. Irving killed my assistant and driver! He threatened to frame me for the murders if I told the police. He still has the murder weapon. He said that he would kill me if I divorced him. "Erin… I don't know what to do anymore! Are you really going to watch me die? Do you really want Mom to find me dead when she comes back?" Erin's expression darkened. She couldn't have guessed that Irving had killed the assistant and the driver. Although Chandler didn't tell Erin everything about how he handled Yvette, Erin still knew quite a lot. Chandler didn't tell her because he didn't want her to be unknowingly used by Yvette.After reading Yvette's text, Erin actually felt like calling her to ask about the details of the incident. However, she quickly calmed herself down. She was afraid of falling for everything Yvette said in the h
"Hahaha ... Turn myself in? You'll only hear such words from people with a way out! You won't be surprised to hear that I have no way out anymore! "Erin Lane, we're even now! No grievances, no nothing! It's perfect, isn't it? This is right where Chandler Frost's first wife died. I can send you off to accompany her on her journey to the underworld!" A sharp murderous intent flickered fiercely in Yvette's eyes.She tossed the shovel aside with a cigarette hanging between her teeth. With a clap of her hands, four large spotlights lit up from where they were hidden in the bushes.A dozen or so burly thugs emerged from behind the bushes, each one appearing more feral and intimidating than the last."Yvette, even now, I'm still struggling to understand why you hate me so much. Chandler cannot be the only reason, can he?" Erin asked with an icy tone, holding her breath.Yvette stared straight into her eyes, and her lips pulled into a sinister smirk. "In fact, you're right! It's not th
Meanwhile, Erin had just stepped into the living room of the villa with her bag when she saw Cherry. She pulled a smile and greeted, "Mom, why are you here? You've just returned to the country! Why aren't you resting at home to adjust to the time difference ..."Cherry approached with a pale face. Her voice was hoarse as she began, "Erin, let me ask you a question. Where is Yvette? Why won't my calls get through to her?"At this question, Erin's expression froze.She hadn't told her mother about Yvette's arrest. Chandler had completely concealed this information from her.However, this wasn't a long-term solution. Erin knew that this matter would eventually have to reach her mother."Mom, Yvette's done some wrong things ...""Wrong things? What did she do wrong? Where's Yvette? Bring me to her please, quick!" All of a sudden, Cherry grew agitated. Her irises trembled; she grabbed Erin and hauled her in the direction of the door.Erin clasped a hand over her mother's. She barely
Erin was still keeping Cherry company at 4:00 am. The IV drip had been completed. Cherry woke up. The heater was on in the guest room, yet the atmosphere still felt cold. Erin felt very guilty toward her mother. She also felt great remorse for Yvette's suicide. It was Chandler's decision to have people violate Yvette. But Erin felt like she was partially responsible since she was his wife. Cherry had a blank expression on her face. Her eyes were lifeless, but her tears kept flowing. She had not spoken a word since she woke up. "Mom, I didn't think she would kill herself …" Erin sat on a chair. The pain was written all over her face. She was still holding Yvette's suicide note in her hands. She had already read it several times. Cherry remained silent. Erin was afraid that she would repress all her emotions and fall ill over time. "Mom, please say something …"After a long while, Cherry finally turned to look at Erin. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Tell me, did you get tho
Erin chuckled lightly as she said, "Enny would have married and fallen in love with another man sooner or later. "If that man is Paulo, I would be more than willing. Enny will be very happy in her life, and I'm at ease entrusting her to Paulo. And with Paulo being so wealthy, I don't have to worry about anyone coveting Enny's status or her family's power.""You make a good point!" Jill agreed."Jill, if your wedding with Ryder happens around the same time as Enny's, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to help you," Erin said worriedly."No worries, I don't want a wedding ceremony. Ryder and I just need to register our marriage. We've been living together for ten years anyway," Jill said.Erin nodded. "Yeah, that's fine. Weddings are quite tiring anyway, whether you have one or not."After chatting for a while, Jill heard Ryder's footsteps and said quickly, "Let's talk next time. He's coming in." …At 10:00 pm that day, Erin visited Chandler's office at his company.However, h
Ryder turned around with skepticism etched across his face. "What could possibly be wrong? Look at how anxious you are."As she leaned against the doorway, Jill held her phone aloft. There was a challenging glint in her eyes. "If you can remain that calm after hearing this news, I'll play your game with you later.""Really?" Ryder raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with."Forget it if you don't trust me." She pretended to turn away.In a swift motion, Ryder closed the distance between them."I believe you. Now, tell me," Ryder said."Enny and Paulo have settled things," Jill announced with a smirk playing on her lips."Damn! Who told you?" Ryder's curiosity peaked.Jill waved her phone triumphantly. "This is exclusive insider information! Erin personally sent a WhatsApp message, see for yourself!"Ryder snatched the phone, his eyes scanning the message rapidly.The message read, "Enny was two months pregnant with Paulo's child, and the couple had visited Paulo's parents. Whil
Cyril looked at Paulo's departing figure and sighed. "Master is so good-looking. That's why Ms. Frost has been chasing him for so many years… Actually, Master and Ms. Frost really are a perfect match!"Only after Paulo's figure disappeared into the forest did Cyril turn around silently.He was suddenly startled. "Ms. Frost…""Why so guilty? I'm not some demoness who preys on monks!" Enny exclaimed.Cyril laughed. "Ms. Frost, you're really humorous…""I'm asking you, where is your master?" Enny demanded.Cyril hesitated and said, "I don't know where Master is."Enny called his bluff. "Liar!""I really don't know," insisted Cyril."Cyril, your master is going through the most difficult time of his life. As his capable assistant and disciple, you must help him!" insisted Enny.Enny's serious expression made Cyril ask curiously, "What trouble has Master encountered?""Well, he wants to be with me, but he's too embarrassed to ask. What should I do?" she asked."Does Master reall
Many years later, on the day Enny got her ID card, she drove to Skycloud Mountain overnight.There was a temple on the top of Skycloud Mountain, and she was going to see someone there.By the time she struggled to the mountaintop, it was already 6:00 am the next day.Enny was dressed in black. She wore white hiking shoes with a duck tongue hat and her hair casually tied in a ponytail.Her beautiful, bare face had been a stumbling block on her path to growth.Every year, the number of men she rejected could fill several trucks.That was just among those who had the chance to approach her, while those who didn't could only watch from afar.Enny looked straight ahead, wiping the sweat that had trickled down her cheek.She took a deep breath and walked into the small, secluded temple that was cut off from the world.She finally arrived just in time on the day the new chief abbot took office. In fact, she was there to prevent the new abbot from entering the monastic life!Driven b
Erin had planned to visit Matthew's "Thinkerin City" to buy a violin and visit him.But Matthew's shop was closed, so after waiting for half an hour with Enny, she went to another store to buy one.However, she happened to meet him on the street now.Matthew slowly pushed the wheelchair toward her.He was dressed very casually. He wore a plaid shirt with short sleeves, jeans, and branded sneakers.His simple style was a far cry from his rock star days.He looked somewhat thinner, his smile faint. "Erin, did you and Enny come to buy an instrument?""Yes, we bought Enny a violin. We actually wanted to visit your store." Erin's gaze drifted to Claire, who sat in the wheelchair.Matthew responded, "Sorry, I had to take Claire to get some medicine."Although Claire had been tragically affected by Matthew's obsessive fans years ago, she survived. However, she was left mentally incapacitated and was sometimes lucid for only a few hours.Matthew was loyal, taking it upon himself to c
Chandler's appearance wasn't anything mysterious or an extraordinary entrance.It was filled with the usual beauty and romance of a typical wedding.After reaching Erin, he knelt on one knee with a face full of happiness, opened the ring box with both hands and looked up at her.He asked, "Erin, will you marry me again?"Erin's heart was filled with joy as she asked jokingly, "If I refuse, will you force me into a wedding dress and marry you?"He replied firmly, "Yes!""Since I have no choice, I suppose I must agree," she said with a smile. Erin extended her hand for Chandler to slide the engagement ring onto her finger."You will be Mrs. Frost for the rest of your life! Don't even think about escaping!" Chandler exclaimed."Ah, I won't run. I am willing to be a happy prisoner," Erin said self-deprecatingly.Ryder rolled his eyes, his expression full of sourness.Kylan caught his expression and patted his shoulder without saying a word.As Erin put on the ring, everyone pres
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again as Enny started doing Erin's makeup."I'll get it, Mom. You stay seated, okay?" Enny said."Fine, Mommy won't move." Erin winked at her. Seconds later, Enny shouted, "Godfather!""Enny! You look so beautiful!" The joy in the man's voice was palpable.Erin stood up and walked to the living room, knowing Sean had arrived.By then, Sean and another man had already entered.They closed the door behind them."Erin, I've brought a makeup artist for you," Sean said with a slight smile.The man beside him bowed politely to her. "Hello, Ms. Lane!""Maya, your male disguise is a total failure. You just slapped on some rough makeup without even wearing a realistic mask. You don't look like a man at all," Erin teased with a laugh.Maya couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Frost's security measures are too strict. If I had worn a stranger's male mask, I wouldn't have been allowed in, and I would have been detained.""Why go through all the trouble o
Meanwhile, Erin had just gone to open the door of her hotel room.To her surprise, the person at the door was Roman."Rom! It's really you!" Erin exclaimed with joy. Dressed in a tailored white suit, Roman held a bouquet and joked, "Do you need to check my face to make sure I'm not wearing a mask?""Haha! I know it's you! Come in and let's talk. Thank you for the flowers!" Erin took the bouquet he offered and invited him inside.A minute later, Roman was sitting on the couch.He looked out to the underwater world from the floor-to-ceiling windows and remarked, "Enny and Eddie must really love this room.""Yes, the kids could watch it all night. Chandler specifically chose this type of room for the children," Erin explained.As Erin placed the fresh flowers in a vase, Roman inquired, "Where's Chandler?"Erin replied, "You should know what he's busy with, right?"Roman's gaze turned indecipherable, his tone probing as he asked, "You already know?"Erin laughed. "Yes. Did it d
Jill naturally denied it when she heard the question. "We didn't expose anything! Erin just happened to see us. What could we do? Pretend we don't know her? That's not realistic at all!""Did you really say nothing?" Ryder asked doubtfully.Calix was also skeptical as he questioned, "Erin is so sharp, and both of your acting skills are so poor. She must have figured it out."Tina exclaimed defensively, "We really didn't say anything! You two are so annoying! I'm dying of thirst here! Jill, hurry up and open the door. We can talk inside.""Yeah, I'm thirsty too," Jill echoed. She took out her room card, swiped it, and opened the door.The two women were about to close the door when Ryder stopped it with his hand. He asked, "What are you doing, not letting us in?""What are you coming in for? Don't you have your own room? Go away, we're going to take a nap!" Jill said grumpily."Taking a nap at this hour? Are you two pigs? The rehearsal is about to start," Ryder pointed out."W
